Workshops and Consultations

“As a private contractor it’s easy for me to become isolated in my feelings. Your sharing and support helped me more than you can know. You helped me to feel so much better. I deeply appreciate the respect, concern, and compassion that I feel from you.” – Jewish Healing Center community partner

One of our central aims is to help professionals and institutions in our community increase capacity and sensitivity for addressing the religious and spiritual needs of Jews who are ill, dying, or bereaved. We are happy to support or partner with you toward that aim, whether through a formal presentation, interactive workshop, volunteer training, staff in-service, or behind-the-scenes consultation. We offer consultation and training across many disciplines:

If you are in our service area:

Our rabbis regularly offer tailor-made in-services, presentations, and individual and group consultations for hospitals, long term care facilities, psychiatric and behavioral health units, hospices, and other facilities throughout our service area (Sonoma, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and northern Santa Clara counties).

You can consult with us over the phone or in person, in our San Francisco-based office or in your synagogue, agency or facility.

You, the community professional, care provider or administrator, need not be Jewish to access our services and support.

Each of our rabbis has extensive, specialized experience in hospital and community chaplaincy and spiritual care, in Jewish, secular, and interfaith work, and in interdisciplinary professional collaborations, particularly in the issues around physical and mental illness, end-of-life and palliative care, loss and healing.
